The Menger Hotel

The Menger Hotel is a storied landmark in downtown San Antonio — one of the oldest continuously operating hotels west of the Mississippi. Opened in 1859 just steps from The Alamo and the San Antonio River Walk, it blends rich 19th-century architecture, historic charm, and modern comforts, offering guest rooms and suites filled with Victorian-era details and antique furnishings. Inside you can step into the legendary Menger Bar — famously the site where Theodore Roosevelt once recruited his Rough Riders — or relax in the tranquil Spanish-style courtyard garden. Whether you’re interested in history, architecture, or a timeless travel experience, the Menger offers a unique sense of place, bridging San Antonio’s storied past and its vibrant present.
